Lavender Creek Camp – Quiet Creekside Camping and Lavender Farm Near Arroyo Seco Just 6 miles from the Arroyo Seco Campground, Lavender Creek is a 70-acre sanctuary filled with valley views, oak-covered hills, and a seasonal creek that winds along a bluff face glowing gold at sunset. Lavender Creek is also a small, family-run lavender farm that began as a personal story and a passion for sharing the healing benefits of lavender. Our products are used in hospitals and senior living communities, and our mission is to comfort those in need, including patients, the elderly, and care teams. Each June, our culinary variety of English lavender blooms across nearly two acres visible from the road. We host visitors for U-pick and teach them how to dry lavender at home and cook with it as well. We also offer wellness activities such as yoga and sound bathing, surrounded by blooming lavender and nature for a restorative experience. Guests relax on yoga mats in the warm sun while vibrations from singing bowls and the gentle hum of bees wash over them. Campsites are located down by the creek under an oak canopy, where the shade and flowing water help guests stay cool during the warmer months. Hammocks hang by the water so guests can rest, read, or listen to the soothing sounds, and our lavender eye pillows will help you truly unwind. Parking is available near the lavender field or down by the creek for more capable vehicles. We currently offer three sites near the creek with picnic tables. There are no hookups. What to Expect: • Shaded tent sites under an oak canopy • Creek access and shared hammocks • Picnic tables at the sites and by the lavender field • Seasonal lavender bloom experience • No cell service • No potable water • Portable toilets • No individual campfires at this time, but gas stoves are acceptable • Insects, wildlife, and poison oak — please plan accordingly Lavender Creek is best suited for guests who appreciate quiet and nature.

The Miller Moth Ranch, home of Historic Almond Springs Historic Agri tourism center &farm stays, is a 5 generation working ranch. The ranch has been in the family since the early nineteen hundreds. The first generation started with dryland Almonds and was part of the Paso Robles Associated Almond Growers. The cabins are located on the land that once was a fully operational almond camp. Through the generations the ranch evolved from producing dryland almonds to livestock, hay and grain production. Currently the ranch raises Angus cross cattle, African Boer market goats and farms dryland barley and forage hay. The ranch is now diversifying into Agritourism and we now offer a rustic venue, Historic Almond Springs, and a butcher shop, Ranchita Meat Company. Almond Springs one room cabin experience is designed to ensure your comfort and cleanliness expectations are met while enjoying the historic property and nature’s beauty. The rustic surroundings are described as vintage country chic and authentic country charm. You will find historic pieces of machinery, wagons, pictures, etc.. While staying at the ranch you will enjoy an ultimate remote country experience in comfort. The cabins are located 2 miles within the property on a maintained dirt road.

Lavender Creek Camp – Quiet Creekside Camping and Lavender Farm Near Arroyo Seco Just 6 miles from the Arroyo Seco Campground, Lavender Creek is a 70-acre sanctuary filled with valley views, oak-covered hills, and a seasonal creek that winds along a bluff face glowing gold at sunset. Lavender Creek is also a small, family-run lavender farm that began as a personal story and a passion for sharing the healing benefits of lavender.

Each June, our culinary variety of English lavender blooms across nearly two acres visible from the road. We host visitors for U-pick and teach them how to dry lavender at home and cook with it as well. We also offer wellness activities such as yoga and sound bathing, surrounded by blooming lavender and nature for a restorative experience. Guests relax on yoga mats in the warm sun while vibrations from singing bowls and the gentle hum of bees wash over them. Campsites are located down by the creek under an oak canopy, where the shade and flowing water help guests stay cool during the warmer months. Hammocks hang by the water so guests can rest, read, or listen to the soothing sounds, and our lavender eye pillows will help you truly unwind. Parking is available near the lavender field or down by the creek for more capable vehicles. We currently offer three sites near the creek with picnic tables. There are no hookups. What to Expect: • Shaded tent sites under an oak canopy • Creek access and shared hammocks • Picnic tables at the sites and by the lavender field • Seasonal lavender bloom experience • No cell service • No potable water • Portable toilets • No individual campfires at this time, but gas stoves are acceptable • Insects, wildlife, and poison oak — please plan accordingly Lavender Creek is best suited for guests who appreciate quiet and nature.

Our 42 acres is located at the beginning of the award winning Adelaide Wine trail in Paso Robles. Our ranch was once home to a horse boarding and breeding ranch which bred Paso Fino horses, known for their beautiful gait. Having been a horse ranch, it left us with some nice trails that you can enjoy during your stay. We have some nice uphill walks to view your local surroundings while sitting to enjoy a glass of wine or you morning cup of coffee/tea. We are on a well out here so at times you may get a sulphur/mineral smell to the water. Please bring your own drinking/cooking water. It is safe to shower, my hair feels so much thicker! On the ranch you will see that we have 2 donkeys, Desi (black) and Lucy (light grey). Along with our donkeys we have to friendly goats, Fiona (brown) and Sadie (white), they love carrots. but please stick to one carrot a day each, we don't want to over feed them. We also have chickens which means have farm fresh eggs. $5 for 1/2 dozen. Up on the hill you will see Connie a cow and her buddy Samuel, the bull. they love carrots but please do not go into their pasture. She'll think you're bringing food and gets very dangerously excited. Please feel free to walk the property and become one with nature while observing the local indigenous floral and fauna.

We can accommodate tent campers or car campers. Each campsite fits 4-6 people. The price is $40/per person. Kids under 12 are free. Most campsites are accessible by car and all campsites are accessible by foot. PLEASE NOTE, we do not have a traditional check in procedure. Campsites are first come first serve. Expect a "self-check in process" most of the time. However, there are sometimes people working onsite that you may run into, that are happy to help and lead you in the right direction. You choose your own campsite so plan to arrive early. You can park and walk around. There is signage that says "CAMP" with Arrows. BYO water. We have sulfur spring water. Great for your skin, not good to drink! There's a couple outhouses on the property. One in the main camp zone, one at the far north end of the lower Redwood campsite. You can also bring a shovel and take a walk if you're in the more remote campsites. We have a dumpster outside the gate for your garbage. IMPORTANT INFO Please don't mind our farm junk/tools as you enterGate 1! We are slowly working on clean up and relocation of materials from the entry road and away from view. Before you arrive, have knowledge of poison oak because it is a native plant. The main photos in the listing are taken from Hipcamp Scouts back in 2018 and they are featuring our Original campsite. This is located past the mineral baths. It's the furthest one to reach, and accessible by foot. I will update photos to depict all the campsites, but please share your photos with us on Instagram and tag @charanspringsfarm to help future campers get a view of what the sites look like with a tent set up! SULFUR MINERAL BATHS Include in your experience the use of our sulfur mineral baths. It's $10 per person. PLEASE BOOK THIS AS AN EXTRA AT CHECKOUT. The mineral baths are 2 funky vintage clawfoot tubs that are pictured in the actual listing.The photos show an accurate description of the Mineral Baths. They are not located in the main camp zone. Please call ahead to book your time slot and get directions to the mineral baths. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK IF: You are looking for "Glamping," (Glamour Camping). It's primitive camping on a private property with bonuses like the garden, rustic baths, and beautiful nature. This property has been a working farm for decades, which has struggled with hard times. If farm yards/junk piles make you uncomfortable or give you a creepy feeling, don't book because our boneyard is adjacent to the entry road and it can't be ignored. Thank you for reading this whole description and we hope you have a good experience.

Can’t speak more highly of the site. The view was beautiful, and the space was immaculate. Besides a picnic table and chairs, the stung lights were a nice touch. I made the mistake of only booking 1 night instead of 2. After cleaning up my things for the campers that had reserved the site for that night I meet the host Jeffery. He was absolutely wonderful and understanding. He was so nice he invited us to stay another night on the other side of the property. It was not yet equipped with a fire pit but before I was finished stetting up our camp, he had brought us enough rocks to build one and help me do it. We could not have been luckier to find this spot and such a kind and friendly host. 10 out 10 stars.

We stayed here in a camper van in February for two nights, and it was such a lovely stay. The property feels so welcoming and eclectic, with easy to use amenities, a beautiful riverfront area, and just a short walk to the beach. We could hear the rush of the river each night. More folks seemed to be tent camping, but as it wasn't super busy, the host showed us a great private location for our campervan that we loved. The property itself is in an ideal location from other landmark spots on Big Sur; close to bigger beaches, hikes, and day spots. We will absolutely come back here!

we absolutely loved this campsite. we stayed at redwood cabin on the top of the hill. from the most low-key and private “glamping” we could have hoped for booking last minute- and couldn’t find anywhere else. you wake up to see the ocean, to hawks and a beautiful breeze. the fire pit and kitchen were everything we needed. the property is quaint and intentional. we got in at night so the detailed instructions were much appreciated. brought our dog and she loved it. gene and his son umi were good company. we will be back!

Weekend Trip to 40min to Pinn/Song of the Ancients

Camping here in winter months meant that we were the only campers! Veronica is an incredibly host - very knowledgable of the land, wildlife and preserving the CA old oaks. She was very responsive of all the questions we had and very helpful when we had questions. #4 Campsite is the closest to the amenities even though it's still a few minutes walk into the owner's fenced property. It gets cold at night so bundle up when nature calls to walk over. If you need to use the bathrooms in night like us, I'd recommend Campsite #4 due to proximity. The campsite itself also had some nice trees for shade and it'd be a welcome asset during hotter months. PRO TIP: If you need water spigot, it's also walking towards to the fenced property to wash dishes or clean you items. We didn't bring our camp buckets so that was slight inconvenience due to our miss. Like other said, please be prepared to lose cell connection going to the property. Having the directions printed out was handy for us and definitely try to arrive when there is still light. Much easier to find than being in the dark. We had cloudy evening so didn't catch the starry night which is why we will have to be back!

The camping site we picked was right by the river. I didn’t realize that you just show up and find a spot to camp, but luckily for us there was someone that let us know. We didn’t explore the camping grounds but we used the little trail to walk down to the beach and watch the sunset. The camping site had a lot of overgrown grass/weeds but regardless it was a very pleasant stay. I would recommend and come back!

Weekend Trip to Saddle Mountain Carmel

Really lovely! RE: the other reviews, yes some spots are tight and yes there is ambient noise, but silence and great hiking are just a five minute walk away. Beautiful views, the staff was very nice, and I think $60/night when you get a sauna, shower, and clean bathrooms is a good deal in this area.
